Squaring Stock
Surface Planing
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set the depth of cut to 0", and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as
described. This procedure will better pre-
pare you for the actual operation.
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is
to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see
Figures 43 & 44) to prepare it for thickness plan-
ing on a planer.
Squaring stock involves four steps performed
in the order below:
1. Surface Plane on the Jointer—The concave
face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with
the jointer.

2. Surface Plane on a Thickness Planer—The
opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed
flat with a thickness planer.
3. Edge Joint on the Jointer—The concave
edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the
jointer.
4. Rip Cut on a Table Saw—The jointed edge
of the workpiece is placed against a table saw
fence and the opposite edge cut off.
